They talk about this in one (hilarious) episode of the Jeff & Casey show: http://mollyrocket.com/jacs/jacs_0004_0011.html

    Jeff: Okay, this is weird. I can’t seem to connect.
    Casey: Oh, okay.
    Jeff: So, one of the things where you connect and then you have to go to the webpage…
    Casey: Oh, right, make sure that you pay your $15 a day or…
    Jeff: Yeah, exactly. I call them downstairs and they’re like, “Yeah, the system that takes the orders for the [inaudible 15:00] was down,” not the internet, the chip where they just want to charge you the bullshit. This was a $400 a night place, mind you.
    Casey: Right.
    Jeff: It’s not cheap.
    Casey: Oh, yeah. This is what I said. This is what I just said on a recent episode of Jeff & Casey… The one with the whale actually, the whales when we were talking about Blackfish… I said the more you pay for your hotel room, the more likely you are to get fucked on the internet.

You get… If you pay… If the cost of your hotel room is less than what you pay per month in internet charges at home, you will get free internet…
    Jeff: If there are bugs, you get internet.
    Casey: Right. Yeah. I don’t know how that’s possible but that is the truth.
